Realized How Blessed I Am.
Submitted by: Ana the dreamer
CanadaI am a daughter, sister, wife, mother, and friend. I love life. I love my family. I love to cook. I love to bake. I love the arts. I love dancing. I love singing. I am romantic. I love myself.
I grew up an hour away from our municipality. Though my father was the barangay captain, I still had insecurities growing up because we were not rich as the rest of our relatives but we were also not the most poor either.
My insecurity grew bigger when I went to school, especially when I went to the University. I had to work as a student assistant until the 3rd year and then eventually got a scholarship from the University. In my 3rd year, I also got another scholarship for my allowances. Looking back I can now see that I was already blessed but I did not realize it because my mindset of being rich is having a big house and a nice car.
Two years after my graduation I went to Dubai to work. I worked as a receptionist for three years then moved to another job as an office administrator. The last job I worked at for ten years before coming to Canada is as an Admin Assistant in an MNC. During those ten years, I read The Secret, Hero, and The Magic books.
At first, I did not see how these books helped me but now I realize that one of the reasons why I am in Canada right now is the positivity that Rhonda brought into my life. I forgot to be grateful for all the things that I had and the things that I have now. Tonight is a great reminder after reading some of the inspiring stories here. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I will be forever grateful for the endless opportunities that God gave me and for continuously giving me. The Magic book and audiobook is my constant reminder to be grateful.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so very much!
